Rear window Lourves for midyear c3
Are there any companies who make rear window lourves for 74-77? I guess it would look similar to Lambo rear lourves, but I think it would look really cool for what i'm planning....eventually

and just to note: I do know it would make our visibility, which is already horrible, even worse. I just want to see if they make it for asthetic reasons.

Well those are cool too. Where did you purchase those, if you don't mind my asking?
What I actually had in my mind was where the lourves would extend outward toward the rear like with the lambo. (5 inch slats between the two ...idk what to call them, the fiberglass swoopy things on the rear deck)
See below

Years ago in the late 70’s these were real popular items and yes at one time they were made. I am not aware of anyone making them but we still get request for them every year.
They were made from thin aluminum and made the rear roof line sleek down to the rear deck just as you have pictured. They were hinged from a sticky pad that stuck to the rear window to allow for cleaning. The problem with them was they were poorly made and did not last very long.
Someone might want to think about making these again. I think there is a demand???
